It's Ricciardo versus the Royal Australian Air Force.

With some time to kill before this past weekend's Australian Grand Prix, Red Bull and its F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo headed to an airfield for an extreme-horsepower drag race between the Red Bull F1 show car and an F/A-18 Hornet of the Royal Australian Air Force. Echoing the results of this weekend's race, Ricciardo came in second place (except this time he wasn't disqualified), but the results aren't all that surprising since his car can hit a top speed of around 236 mph while the Hornet tops out at closer to 1242 mph. Not a fair fight, but it sure is fun to watch. Toss in some pretty awesome shots of the Hornet in flight, and that's a wrap.
